Nasdaq 100 drops 2% amid AI-driven inflation concerns and Treasury yield surge
On October 14, 2026, the Nasdaq 100 declined by 2% following a hotter-than-expected consumer price inflation report. The uptick in inflation, influenced by strong consumer spending, energy prices, and AI-related cost pressures, heightened expectations of a Federal Reserve rate hike later in October. This led to a brief surge in Treasury yields, with the 2-year yield reaching 4.808%.
